Re: The good TV thread...

Got "The Americans" lined up...

I heard the latest season of "in the loop" is supposed to be epic? Some random article I read about how it's a take on the whole news of the world drama? Loved the movie, haven't seen any of the tv show yet though.

Re: The good TV thread...

I've also just finished series 1 of Breaking Bad on box set. Was good. Will be watching series 2.

..another one I've never got into, keep hearing good things

Doing a Sopranos rerun marathon at the moment, flawless TV.

..hmm, fucking loved it but not flawless IMO, definitely meandered in parts. Suffered from not having a definitive story arc like The Wire I think. Despite all the artistic justifications I've read, there's no getting away from the fact that the ending was shite as well

That third season of Boardwalk is the best thing I've watched in the last few years, will take some beating

Re: The good TV thread...

Watched 1st two episodes of The Following (couple of dodgy Bacon moments in the 1st ep) but def going to stick with it as only going to get darker & more twisted

Into series 3 of Mad Men which is being re-run on Sky Atlantic. I can't put a finger on why its so addictive but it just is. Nothing 'cliffhangery' really ever happens but it just draws you in. Well worth getting stuck into & perfect stuff to watch with the other half

Oh & ssshhhhh, don't tell too many people but Holby City is an absolute crackerjack of a series

Wasn't In The Loop the film version of The Thick Of It series or are you talking about something else?

Re: The good TV thread...

...best thing about Boardwalk was the way it patiently built up the characters, with the peripheral ones becoming more and more involved. I remember people whinging about how slow series 1 & 2 were but S3 properly delivered
